Of course these butterflies mimic each other specifically to fool us. What chance have we got?

Lovely spot! This beautiful butterfly isn't a Monarch - I'm not familiar with the species but I am sure one of the butterfly experts here can id this for you if you check the "help me id this species" box using the edit function.
